Guess who is going to play video games and watch Bob’s Burgers whenever training is not taking place (about six hours a day)? THIS GUY!

I’ve worked my ass off to get improving sales numbers over the past year while the rest of the division is plummeting. Time for my productivity to plummet as well.
